memory stuck at 4GB and not upgradable? I want to have at least 8GB, anyone?

No, from what I read before purchasing, the memory is soldered to the motherboard. It's a great laptop, but honestly, if you NEED 8gigs, you should probably be looking into a different laptop anyway. I can't imagine anything you might use this laptop for anything that would require more ram given that the processor wouldn't really be suited best for those types of computer work.

The third generation, Ivy Bridge processor(NP900...C) Series 9 has RAM soldered directly onto the motherboard and cannot be upgraded, unfortunately. You should also know that Samsung replaced the SSD in the third gen. with a (slightly) inferior one.

there is 24gb of RAM installed upgradeable to 32gb. is there currently an open slot for the additional 8gb or will i have to toss out all 24gb in there and buy 32gb of RAM for the upgrade?

Yes, Ram can be upgraded to 4GB via standard SODIMM modules. 8GB is a possibility but needs to be confirmed but not much point going to 8gb at this stage.

find your answer on crucial.com. They will download a short program that will checkout your system and give you a list of what spaces are available, what memory is in there, and a list of potential upgrade option and, it's free. I have used it for years and have found no better way to find out how to upgrade several compurters' memory. No, I don't have a financial interest in Crucial.

It says max memory is 8 in the specs. That is usually a motherboard limitation.

Specs don't say RAM is expandable. You have to go much further up the product line for upgradeable RAM.

Yes, it should be 4GB. "4 MB" that is a typo. Thanks alerting us to this you have sharp eyes.

If you mean put more memory on the hard drive, you can't. I asked the sales people where I bought it from.

I've used a 4GB with no problems... I don't know if it would take a higher one or not. Hope that helps?

2GB onboard (Motherboard) + 2GB degradable to another 8gb total 2+8 = 10 GB. Go to crucial.com

Karen, you cannot add memory. You buy it as it is with 32 GB. Upgrade not possible, sorry.

Yes you can. There are two memory slots and you can put 8GB in each, but you will discard of sell the original 4GB

I added another 4 gb to bring it to 8 gb. Before the upgrade laptop would crash when I opened too many windows. Since the upgrade, laptop has not crashed. It has an open slot to easily add the memory.

to my knowledge it is not possible to upgrade the memory. upgrading the hard drive is extrem expensive because asus uses its own SATA type.you better buy a zenbook with 256GB hard drive (they are available for around 1000 USD)

To increase the ram, you should seek a specialist to swap the memory .... As for the HD you can use an external hard ... good luck

Yes. In fact, you can go all the way up to 32 GB if you want (you will need a total of four 8GB chips).

I do believe it is possible to upgrade to 16gb. And I'm not to sure about your first question? Could you word it differently?
